The duration for scars to fade can vary from person to person, but generally, scars will undergo significant changes over the first year of healing. Initially, they may appear red, raised, or darker in color, but with proper scar care, such as keeping the incisions clean and protected, avoiding sun exposure, and following your surgeon’s instructions, they will gradually fade and become less noticeable over time. It’s important to remember that each individual’s healing process is unique, and your surgeon will provide personalized guidance and support to help optimize the appearance of your scars.
